E10.. Yes or No?

**jumpman138** · September 3rd, 2009 10:23 PM

this is really bad news for people like myself that loves and/or has sentimental feelings about their cars with carb engines...or for people, like myself again, that has not enough money to buy newer model cars. i seriously think that this a ploy to completely eradicate carb engines on our roads. maybe due to environmental reasons or whatever...but is so unfair for us though.

i love my car..i love carb engines..so what then are we left here with...?

You can start hoarding regular gasoline into massive storage tanks that can hold thousands of liters so you will have your own personal supply of gasoline untainted with ethanol.

Or you can read this article:

E10 ... what a dumb*$$ idea ...

On top of all the myths, ngayon pa lang HINDI bumababa ang presyo ng gasolina na may E10 kahit mas mataas ang konsumo.

tignan natin kung saan hahanap ng gasolina ang mga lint3k na pulitiko na yan para sa mga grass cutter nila and whatnot ...

Didn't I say this fact in the past? Yet so many people would rather say "let us give the E10 thingie a chance to prove itself"... The fact that E10's use in other countries for years have already "proven" what it can and cannot do.

If you plan to "save money" by buying another vehicle that uses another type of fuel, isn't that kinda a self-defeating move?

Especially when switching to Auto-LPG (from using gasoline) is much cheaper in in the cost of fuel and cost of converting to use LPG.

i guess we'll be trying to modify my carb and timing to make it compatible for e10. hopefully there'll be little to no side-effects on the engine's performance, especially in the long run.

but so far i am feeling the e10-effect...power drop mainly, plus some power lag...tsktsk. and don't get me started with the consumption...hayayay!

Why not jump to Auto-LPG? Fuel is cheaper and venturi type conversion kit isn't that expensive.

i don't know...i guess i'm still not convinced, and probably have a lot of questions regarding it. maybe i'm one of those guys who are into old fashioned gasoline-carb-engine-type.
